We present you: a CD-i review by Tom Lenting! "Whack-a-Bubble is a colorful but poor looking Arkanoid clone; Arkanoid is Break Out with the ability to shoot the bricks. The bricks have been replaced by bubbles. Though colorful the graphics are plain and a little pixelated. The sound is alright with a suiting relaxing melody than didn't get on my nerves too rapidly. The control works fine, but the gameplay doesn't offer anything more than you can find in common freeware, shareware or even online Flash-games. Besides the regular 'arcade challenge', there are some additional options like three difficulty settings, beat the clock and your high scores are saved in a nice overview. It is also possible to play the game with two players in 'head 2 head'."

I have to add that I don't agree with his score and arguments. For one, this was available as a budget title for 10 euro's, a small detail Tom seems to forget. Personally I find Whack-a-Bubble a very rare and nice two-player game which plays a bit like Pac-Panic. I admit, Whack-a-Bubble is not as polished as Philips' Pac-Panic, but it definately has its charme. Want to know a little about the history of the developers behind Whack-a-Bubble?

Welcome to CD-i!

Welcome to the wonderful world of Interactive Dreams. You've just come to a warmhearted place all dedicated to the Philips CD-i. With attention to detail and quality, 2015 should see the rise of CD-i as a Retrogaming platform. For many CD-i has gone as a relative obscurity had it not been for the intervention of websites like The Black Moon Project and Interactive Dreams. Hopefully we're doing our bit to set the record straight along with all the other great CD-i projects.
